Why E-Cigarettes Can’t Help You Quit Smoking The latest buzz for people who

are trying to quit smoking is the electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette. Seemingly overnight, this industry sprung up as a supposedly viable solution to quitting smoking, and with good reason: the electronic cigarette isn’t actually a cigarette, it just soothes your cravings for nicotine. So, is it really a good idea?

The electronic cigarette falls under the same category as nicotine patches and gums: Nicotine Replacement Therapy. In the same vein, it has the exact same problems as the other nicotine replacement methods: it’s merely a band-aid for your urge to quit.

As I was trying to quit smoking, I tried virtually every trick in the book. None of them worked, and for good reason: when I ran out, I went right back to smoking. I never sat around and said, ‘Wow, I could really go for one of those nicotine patches right now! ‘

Of course, the solution to this is to keep an ample supply of whatever replacement you’re using on hand. But what happens when you’re out at a bar or with friends? Everyone’s out smoking, you’re not going to be that person who turns on their e-cigarette and takes a few drags, being all high and mighty over the other smokers. It just doesn’t make sense.

There is really only one real way to quit smoking: willpower. Many people say that cold turkey is the hardest way to quit smoking, and with good reason: they go about it all the wrong way. If you know what you’re doing and stomp out your want for cigarettes before you start, you’ll be able to quit and never look back!

All a person needs to quit smoking is persistence and the right tools to help them succeed.

In the United States alone, there are nearly 50 million smokers over the age of eighteen. These smokers take in a large number of carcinogens, or cancer-causing agents, with each puff on the cigarette. Carcinogens account for a higher risk of stroke, heart attack, emphysema, and a large number of cancers. And these conditions do not affect smokers alone.

Those living with smokers can also develop similar health issues by being exposed to second hand smoke, which in many cases is more toxic than first hand smoke. Luckily, there are many products and resources available for those that want to quite smoking.

The best way for a person to quit cigarette smoking is to approach the issue with a clear goal in mind. This means that a smoker should start the quitting process by setting a deadline when they will be able to go without cigarettes permanently. The smoker must tell friends, family and coworkers about their plan in order for this process to work. This helps to keep a smoker on track when more people are there to support their goals. It is also recommended for a smoker to talk to their physician prior to quitting for additional support and advice on the topic.

Some smokers will need more than willpower to get through the first days and weeks after quitting. This is why there are many effective products on the market to help smokers ease their cravings for nicotine, the addictive substance in cigarettes. Everything from gum to patches and even electronic cigarettes have successfully worked for thousands of smokers trying to quit.

Quit-smoking programs are also available for smokers that need the support of other people that know what they are going through. A quit-smoking program puts the action of quitting into a group effort. This not only offers an incentive to keep working at it, but most programs also provide useful information for participants. This information includes understanding why a person smokes, how to handle the most stressful moments in the cessation process, and tips to help resist the urge to smoke without replacing it with another addicting habit.

If a smoker is truly interested in quitting, there are many resources available. To meet specific goals in the process by setting up a customized program is an easy way to begin the process. A cessation group can also help a smoker focused with their goals. And if they hit a bump in the road, products and medication can see them through to the next phase in the quitting process.

Okay, you have to start somewhere so, start. What I advise is that you have a good look at the ‘spread’ instead of stopping at the first one. The trick is having a good look at a fair number of what’s on offer. Have a points system based on your priorities. Sort of like buying a house or a car. Don’t rush in. You can always come back.

Okay, let’s see here. We have the patches, gums, inhalers, lozenges, acupuncture, laser, capsules, shots (injections), hypnotherapy, electronic cigarettes, herbal mixtures and potions. I have probably missed one or two obscure ones but you get the picture.

Easy, all you have to do now is choose and have a good life. I would like to advise or recommend but that is not why am here. On top of which, I may have my own preferences that you would not necessarily help you.

I was there once and I know what it is like. You just want to make sure the one you choose is right for you. Well of course you do! It’s a maze out there and you just have to keep going until you see that opening. This is real life!

someone who smokes, you may be constantly trying to eliminate cigarette odor from your furniture and clothing. Regular smoking in a closed room can cause smoke to build up on walls, in fabrics, and in carpeting. There are several products on the market today that can mask the odor or replace it, but one of the simplest ways to air out a room is still just to open a window.

Even when it is cold outside, a quick half hour with the windows open can replace smoky air with fresh, clean outside air.

Regular Treatments

No matter how well you eliminate cigarette odor one day, you’ll need to do it again at regular intervals. As long as someone smokes in the room, the smoke will continue to build up and need to be removed. Wash your walls and fabrics at least once a month to help reduce the amount of smoke that builds up in them. Use a steam cleaner to treat your carpets every three months or so, since smoke can leave deposits on the carpet fibers as well.

Electronic Alternatives

One of the most effective ways to eliminate cigarette odor is to prevent the smoke from dissipating throughout the room. There are mechanical air filters that will draw the smoke into a filter instead of letting it permeate your furniture or carpeting.

The only downside of an air filter is that it can be noisy, which makes it irritating if you are trying to watch television or hold a conversation while someone smokes.

A more high-tech way to battle cigarette odor is using a negative ion generator. These electronic wonders will emit negative ions that collect the positive ions in the room, leaving fresh air behind. They are noiseless and have no moving parts. The only worry is that they need to be cleaned very regularly to maintain their effectiveness.

became aware about the dangers of smoking a few decades ago, many people have found quitting the tobacco habit hard. Companies have been innovating and manufacturing smoking cessation products for many years now. From nicotine patches to gum, nicotine addicts have been using them to quit their habit.

Electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes and electric cigarettes)are the newest product on the market. They are designed to look and feel like real cigarettes, even down to emitting artificial smoke however they do not actually contain any tobacco. Users inhale nicotine vapour which looks like smoke without any of the carcinogens found in tobacco smoke which are harmful to the smoker and others around him.

The Electronic cigarette consists of a nicotine cartridge containing liquid nicotine. When a user inhales, a tiny battery powered atomizer turns a small amount of liquid nicotine into vapour. Inhaling nicotine vapour gives the user a nicotine hit in seconds rather than minutes with patches or gum. When the user inhales, a small LED light at the tip of the electronic cigarette glows orange to simulate a real cigarette.

The nicotine cartridges themselves come in various strengths. Most of the major brands, such as the Gamucci electronic cigarette have full strength, half strength and minimal strength. This is designed for people who want to quit smoking. As they get used to using the electronic cigarette, they can gradually reduce the strength they use until they quit.

The main advantages electronic cigarettes have over nicotine patches or gum is firstly, users have the nicotine hit much quicker and secondly, because a big reason why smokers fail to quit suing patches and gum is because they still miss the act of inhaling smoke from a cylindrical object. The electronic cigarette emulates that even down to the smoke.

The electronic cigarette is also beneficial from a financial perspective. A set of five nicotine cartridges costs around £8 and is equivalent to 500 cigarettes. Although the initial investment of an electronic cigarette kit of £50 may seem steep at first, users save money in the long run.

As with many popular products, there have been a great number of cheap Chinese imitations flooding the market. They are usually half the price of a branded electronic cigarette and look like the real thing as well. It is inadvisable to use these because they have not been subject to the same rigorous testing the official electronic cigarettes have and can potentially be highly damaging to the user’s health.

As electronic cigarettes become more and more popular, they are increasingly used to smoke in pubs and clubs with a smoking ban. Electronic cigarettes seem to be the next thing and may soon replace real cigarettes in clubs.

The truth is that there are certain things that we must not do if we want to find it less difficult to abandon smoking completely. It is very important that we take note of these things. Once we get them out of the way, our minds will be clear as to what doesn’t work.

Don’t use any form of medication

It is very surprising that some people have come with the idea that some form of meditation like hypnosis can help us quit the use of cigarettes. This idea is very wrong. Meditation won’t help us to quit. Quite a number of people have claimed that it worked for them but it is still not the best option to use.

If we consider the percentage of smokers who have managed to succeed using meditation techniques we will find that it is not worth it. Research shows that only about 10% of people who use meditation (particularly hypnosis) end up finally quitting. Whereas, we have techniques where about 96% of those who use it end up smoking and never go back to it again.

Forget about the idea of e-cigarettes

Some people are really desperate to quit. In their desperation, they go ahead to use the idea of e-cigarettes. Believe me, using this idea is going over the board, big time. The whole idea is having some kind of fancy electronic cigarette within reach so that even if we put them in the mouth to smoke, we won’t be taking in nicotine into the body. Actually the cigarette does not contain anything in it. It is just something that is fancy. This does not really solve the main problem. Does it?

Nicotine replacement therapy won’t work

Most of us have gotten discouraged by the kind of results that we get from the use of nicotine replacement therapy products. Many have conceived this therapy as a way to easily quit smoking cigarettes. But it is not. What we need to realize is that we are not addicted to smoking because we crave nicotine. We crave the cigarettes and not the nicotine. That is simple the reason why this therapy is associated with a poor success rate.

This is fine if you are buying each unit separately or you are building a full in-car entertainment system piece by piece.

* Motorized – Where the TFT LCD screen of the display, usually in a car in dash unit, neatly folds and slides inside its housing when it is not in use.

Beard is cool, but you need to take time to maintain it whether you style a 5 o’clock shadow or a Jeff Bridges-like beard. Of course, the key to maintain your beard style is trimming it regularly.

It’s a great idea to buy many professional barber’s scissors to obtain a fresh cut. Beard trimmers can be found with different prices on tag but it’s possibly well worth the extra cash to obtain a cord-free beard trimmer. Additionally, be sure you have a very good, well-lighted mirror. You might want to purchase a magnified mirror to help you by way of problem areas. Have a clean, shaved neck if you don’t want the Moses look.

Get a good comb and clean your beard up against the grain to raise it out of the natural fault. This allows you to trim and prevent your hair out there of growing in several ways. I recommend you purchase a mid-range beard trimmer. These units are very flexible nowadays and could be useful for body grooming together with giving your hair a fast haircut.

For people who have never cut their beard before or you are trying a new beard trimmer, start with the longest cutting size around the device. You are able to switch to a shorter size so that you will won’t danger over reducing your hair.

Trimming your Neck

There are 2 ways of thinking right here – cutting a natural vs. creating an edge. In either case, neck hair really should not be handled just like what is on your own face.

We do not recommend making fake lines, which could look unequal and unpleasant, however if you simply have to maintain the neck clean as well as tight perform, it is best to have somebody look for a line. “It really is extremely difficult to create a clean, shaped line by yourself,” says Mac, who suggests the hirsute to cut a boundary regularly.

The all-natural style is definitely simpler, and when you stick to these tips, you may even pull it off in addition traditional officials. Cut short the shield on your own trimmer with 1 or 2 levels on the neck and simply beneath the jaw. Trim it a beard fade.

Locating the Edge

Beards usually are not perfect, as proved via the few hair follicles that grow well outdoors the face forest, generally anywhere over the cheek range or along the side of your neck.

In case your face begins to grow fur, visit a hair stylist and also have him look for a range that meets your face. Or else, you need to allow the beard to outline itself.

Dealing with the Sideburns

“How long you need to deal with your sideburn, it’s up to you, and don’t use your ears as a level”. Mac says. And he pointed out that most bearded guys’ ears are not actually and utilizing all of them like a measurement can make your facial beard show that.” He recommends that you’re taking one step back and “try to suit your sideburns as greatest as you possibly can by eyeballing it in the mirror.”

Supplements are a common topic of discussion among fitness and bodybuilding enthusiasts looking for ways to improve their performance in and out of the gym. The supplements available in the market are quite varied and are usually categorized into two, namely anabolic and metabolic. These two types of supplements are quite popular despite their differences, with each of them having their merits or demerits. It is therefore important to understand them properly before making the decision on the best one for you. Nevertheless, it is important to consult a nutritionist or physician as well to make the best decision on these supplements.

Anabolic supplements

Anabolic supplements are used to quicken the results that are commonly sought for in bodybuilding which is the building of body muscles. These supplements have certain ingredients that when combined with an intense workout result in the development of muscles. The main ingredient is usually male androgens that are designed to emulate hormones such as testosterone which help the muscles reach the size or weight required. However, it is good to note that some anabolic supplements are not good for the body and should thus be used with care to avoid any negative side effects in the long run.

Most anabolic supplements are used in a number of forms which include powder, pills or even injections. The most popular form of anabolic supplements is Steroids. Steroids may not be suit everyone and you need to choose wisely while buying steroids online. The best time to use these synthetic supplements is when seeking heightened performance so that you can have an edge over others especially in physical training or in sports. Another reason for the supplements is to remain physically fit and in this case they should be combines with proper dieting as well as physical training. Finally, taking anabolic supplements can be used to build self esteem in areas where performance is low. The supplements can help in building a great physique thus contributing to higher self esteem.

Metabolic supplements

Metabolic supplements are mostly made from natural ingredients and are usually introduced as part of the diet to increase the body’s rate of metabolism. These supplements are considered to be much safer although the result of their use on the body is much more gradual than their anabolic counterparts. In most cases, the supplements increase body heat resulting in boosted metabolism so that more calories are burned off thereby reducing unwanted fat in the body. Metabolic supplements are widely accepted and are sold in a number of health stores both online and at stores in physical buildings. However, it is still important to do some research on them before making a purchase and incorporating them into your diet.

The use of metabolic supplements is varied but they are commonly used to increase the rate of metabolism for those suffering from slow metabolism. If you are looking to increase your muscle size and burn body fat as well in a natural progression, then these supplements are a good choice for you.

Overall, both metabolic and anabolic supplements can be beneficial to the body especially when used in moderation both for male and female fitness enthusiasts.
